The Ballad of Clever Caleb

(Soft piano & slow beats in the background) Ham dono hi dhokha kha gaye, kyun aisa hua? Maine tumhe horo se alag samjha, Aur tumne mujhe horo jaisa... Jab kaha tha mohabbat ki hai tumse, Phir tum yakin kyun na laa sake? --- (Verse 1 – Soft & Heartfelt) Zakhm dete rahe, hum seete rahe, Tum par fir bhi hum marte rahe. Daga kiya, badi baar kiya, Itna kyun kiya, tune mujhe hi maar diya? Mujhse vaade kiye the, sab jhoote lage, Mohabbat ke sapne bhi ab to toote lage. Socha tha saath chalega tu zindagi bhar, Par chhod diya beech raaste, kyun kiya ye safar? (Music builds up with beats and strings) --- (Chorus – Emotional High) Ab raaton mein bhi, neend nahi aati, Teri yaadon ki barsaat barasti. Tere bina dil tanha sa rehta, Mohabbat ka matlab bhi jaane bina tu kehna... (Break – Slow music with heartbeats fading in background) --- (Verse 2 – Painful Realization) Meri chahat thi sacchi, tera pyaar jhoota, Dil ke har kone mein bas dukh hi chhupa. Maine socha tha hum ek kahani likhenge, Par tu bhi wahi nikla, jise main bhool na saka... Dil ke har kone mein dard ka silsila, Har yaad teri ab zeher ban chuki hai. Main girta gaya, bikharne laga, Aur tu haste haste mujhe todne laga... (Pause – Only piano, slow beats fading in) --- (Bridge – Soft Whispered Pain) Ab na koi shikwa hai, na koi gila, Tere bina bhi jee lenge, yeh vaada raha. Dil tod diya tune, ab sab yaadon ko mitayenge, Teri mohabbat se door, ek naya raasta banayenge... (Music intensifies, drums and strings build-up) --- (Chorus – Grand Finale) Ab raaton mein bhi, neend nahi aati, Teri yaadon ki barsaat barasti. Tere bina dil tanha sa rehta, Mohabbat ka matlab bhi jaane bina tu kehna... (Outro – Soft fading piano, heartbeat sounds slowly fading out...)

[Verse] A wise old owl sat on an oak Heard whispers from the silent folk His eyes wide knowing many tales Listening deeply never fails [Verse 2] The more he heard the less he'd speak Answers hid in silence sleek Quiet wisdom always soared In stillness truth is more adored [Chorus] Oh why can't we be just like him With patience on a steady limb Listening more to find the word Becoming just like that wise old bird [Verse 3] Chirps and twitters all around Owls stay grounded to the sound Through the night he's never stirred Thoughts are clearer undisturbed [Bridge] In shadows cast by moonbeam light Lessons come in quiet flight The less we chase the more we'll claim In whispered wind we stake our claim [Verse 4] So sit with me beneath this tree Let silence teach us how to see With open ears and grounded feet In silence we will find our beat

[Verse] Whispered words under the moon In the quiet we find tune Soft as dew on morning leaves Secrets shared in night's reprieve [Verse 2] Eyes that dance like fireflies Stories told behind closed eyes Silent laughs and hands that trace In the dark we find our space [Chorus] Hold me close beneath the stars Where dreams and reality spar In this world just you and I Writing love with every sigh [Verse 3] Paths we've walked and scars we share Twisted roads that lead us there Through the storms and through the calm Your heart sings my favorite psalm [Bridge] Leaves will fall and seasons fade But our whispers won't betray Eternal echoes in the night Binding us in whispered light [Verse 4] Let the world roar loud and fierce We'll stay here where noise won't pierce In this quiet poetry You and I in harmony

[Instrumental]

[Verse] I wake up every night your face in my mind Thinking ‘bout the love we left behind I hear our song and I start to cry Wishing you were here baby by my side [Pre-Chorus] The days feel so long the nights feel so cold Memories linger and the pain unfolds Every whispered word every sweet embrace I can't move on I can't replace [Chorus] Oh the love we had the dreams we shared Moments of joy a bond so rare Now I'm standing here with an empty space Just me and the echo of your sweet face [Verse 2] I walk through the park where we used to laugh Every step I take splits my heart in half I see your smile in the morning light But it's just a shadow in the dead of night [Bridge] Time moves slow when you're not around My heart beats loud without a sound I'm lost in a world that used to make sense Now I'm trapped inside this aching fence [Chorus] Oh the love we had the dreams we shared Moments of joy a bond so rare Now I'm standing here with an empty space Just me and the echo of your sweet face

[Verse] আইতে নদী যাইতে খাল মোগো বাড়ি বরিশাল পাখিরা গান গায় তাল মিলায় হৃদয় জুড়ে সবুজ দ্বীপ [Verse 2] তাল গাছের ছায়া ঘেরা রোদ লেগে ঝলমল করে বাতাসে লতা ফুলের ঘ্রাণ জীবন যেন নাচের ঝঙ্কার [Chorus] বরিশালের মিষ্টি সময় নদীর স্রোতে যায় ভেসে তোমার চোখে খুঁজে পাই নতুন জগতের এক আলো [Verse 3] ধানের ক্ষেত মাঠের সোন্দর আকাশে মেঘের খেলা করে পানিতে ভাসে ছোট নৌকা মাছ ধরার গান সকাল বেলা [Bridge] স্মৃতিরা ভাসে আকাশ পানে শিশুগুলি খেলে লাফালাফি নদীর ধারে উঠোনে গাওয়া জীবনের বন্ধুর পথ গাওয়া [Chorus] বরিশালের মিষ্টি সময় নদীর স্রোতে যায় ভেসে তোমার চোখে খুঁজে পাই নতুন জগতের এক আলো

[Verse] अवाजहरूमा तिम्रो नाम अझै पनि गुञ्जिरहन्छ मेट्न खोज्दा सम्झनाहरू झन् गाढा बन्छ सपना थियो सँगै हिँड्ने सँगै रोएर हाँस्ने तर समयले किन होला बाटो फरक पारिदियो [Chorus] बिर्सिन खोज्दा तिम्रो याद अझै पनि छाय सम्भावना हराएका हामीले के नै पाए कस्तो संयोगले जीवनको यो खेल खेलायो तर तिम्रो याद अझै पनि मनमा सजाय [Verse] तिमीले दिएको त्यो हाँसो अझै कानमा बज्छ संसारको विरानो बिच यो मन कता हजुर खोज्छ सपना छोड्नु थियो सत्य सामुन्ने आउँदा तर विश्वासको धरोहरले मनलाई जित्दैन [Chorus] बिर्सिन खोज्दा तिम्रो याद अझै पनि छाय सम्भावना हराएका हामीले के नै पाए कस्तो संयोगले जीवनको यो खेल खेलायो तर तिम्रो याद अझै पनि मनमा सजाय [Bridge] अझै सोच्छु तिमी मलाई साँच्चै बिर्स्यौ होला या त्यो माया तिम्रो पनि कहिल्यै हराएन होला जीवनको त्यो मोडमा फेरि एकपल्ट भेटिएला तर सपना देख्नु व्यर्थ होला यसरी तार्किक मनले बुझाएला [Chorus] बिर्सिन खोज्दा तिम्रो याद अझै पनि छाय सम्भावना हराएका हामीले के नै पाए कस्तो संयोगले जीवनको यो खेल खेलायो तर तिम्रो याद अझै पनि मनमा सजाय

[Verse] Down the dusty road where the wind blows free A cowboy rides where the sky meets the sea With a hat pulled low and a glint in his eye He's got his boots and he's ready to fly [Verse 2] Saddle bags brimming with tales untold Riding on dreams worth more than gold His horse is steady the trail's his home In the vast expanse where wild thoughts roam [Chorus] Buckles and spurs they jingle in stride Through the open plains where freedom rides Underneath the stars gypsy heart unfurls In a lonesome world carrying all his curls [Bridge] Campfires burn lighting up the night Stories and shadows dancing in sight Moon whispers secrets in a silent song In the embrace of the night he feels strong [Verse 3] Sunrise paints the horizon with gold Every dawn a new story unfolds Roaming spirit never tied down In the heart of the west forever unbound [Chorus] Buckles and spurs they jingle in stride Through the open plains where freedom rides Underneath the stars gypsy heart unfurls In a lonesome world carrying all his curls

[Verse] In a small town by the Red River shore, Whispers of the past are hard to ignore, Old barns creak beneath a moonlit sky, Shadows of the memories that never die. [Verse 2] The church bell tolls, but no one's inside, Empty pews hold secrets, they seem to hide, Rusty swings in the park, they sway alone, Haunting echoes of laughter, long gone. [Chorus] Ghosts of Oklahoma, walking through the night, Carrying the stories of hearts that took flight, Lost souls linger, in this weary place, In the haunted town, they leave a trace. [Verse 3] Main street's empty, not a soul in sight, Windows boarded up, before the first light, Faded signs of shops that used to thrive, Now just remnants, trying to survive. [Bridge] If you listen close by the old motel, You might hear a voice, or a distant yell, Footsteps on the gravel, but no one there, Just the mist of history in the air. [Chorus] Ghosts of Oklahoma, walking through the night, Carrying the stories of hearts that took flight, Lost souls linger, in this weary place, In the haunted town, they leave a trace.
